BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
Brooklyn Heights is New York’s oldest unchanged neighborhood, and its
first designated historic district. The neighborhood is a treasury of
beautiful old houses and tree-lined streets. Some New Yorkers claim that
this is what New York used to look like. Today, it has become one of the
most desirable residential neighborhoods in Brooklyn. These days rents
in Brooklyn Heights reach skyscraper heights; long gone are the days
when literary people lived in the neighborhood. Montague Street, the
heart of Brooklyn Heights, is packed with shops, restaurants and bars.
The neighborhood’s biggest attraction is the Brooklyn Heights Promenade,
a unique park promenade build atop the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The
promenade offers spectacular views of the East River and the Manhattan
skyline.
